Cast lead-alloy token dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. 1500-1800. The token is only decorated on the obverse; the reverse is plain. The obverse displays a raised floral pattern which is unusual for tokens of that time. Furthermore, it appears that the token still carries remains of its casting strips which means that it was never finished off and probably never entered circulation.
